Description

The roofs are covered with 20th-century tiles. The buildings consist of three bays overall and are two storeys high, with a two-storey extension on the lower level at the west gable end and a one-storey lean-to extension at the east gable end. Throughout the cottages, there are 20th-century casement windows, and Corner Cottage has a 20th-century front door. A red brick ridge stack and an external gable end stack are present on the west side.
